Re: Transfer printer configurations

You start at lokking at /etc/printcapYou may find all you printer references there.If so, you can copy this file to the new hostIf it references (tcp/ip-)printers by hostname you may also need to copy respective lines from /ets/hosts to the hosts file of the new system.

After this all references to the printers should be present on the new system.You may need to run lprsetup (or "sysman lprsetup") to tune your configuration.

Just copying /etc/printcap and making sure all printserver hostnames can be resolved is not sufficient.You will have to recreate the printer spool directories and make sure the directory for lp-error and lp-accounting files exist.
